But did anyone else have some sluggishness on page loading on Friday and Saturday?

I'm sure that was due to a spike in traffic caused by Dusty getting fired. The site runs perfectly fine 95%+ of the team, but on days like last Tuesday (Wild Card game) and last Friday, it's not equipped for that traffic. The problem is that it'll be quite a bit more to upgrade to hardware that will support that traffic, and it's hard to justify doing so for a few days out of the year. With that being said, as a reader of the site myself, I certainly understand the frustration this causes.

Dusty strikes again.

No problem at all Boss.

Hey Boss: Are you ever going to turn on the how many are viewing each forum and who is presently viewing a thread features? No biggie, obviously, but they were cool conveniences, IMO.

Unfortunately not, at least for the foreseeable future, as I believe that was one of several factors contributing to an excessive server load. As is, we'll still have issues from time to time when traffic is unusually high (generally during a minority of Reds' games that we can not foresee in advance), but I'd like to do everything I can to not exacerbate this problem during non-peak times.

Do you really need the animated chick and her bouncing juggs as an advertisement on the site?

Not a good look when browsing at work.

League of Angels video game. I noticed it this morning as well. Not good for the family thing. Also has her taking off her clothes and showering in the skimpy bikini that is way too revealing (for this site, not necessarily for me lol).

Re: Site Feedback/Questions

Thanks for letting me know - that's certainly not intentional, as it's up to Google what to display after we exclude certain categories of ads. I'd thought we'd removed any category remotely objectionable, but obviously not, so I'll take another look at our settings. Are these all ads for video games?

Yeah, there were a couple different ones for the same game I'm pretty sure.

I've disabled the video game category. Please let me know if you continue to see these ads or anything objectionable for a family friendly site.

Trying to post for my first time. Tried in another thread but it looks like I just busted my cherry.

Are all threads open?

I have been trying to post a new thread in the Fantasy Island sub-forum for the last two days but the site is not allowing it. I keep getting this error message:
